Hello, so I have a few questions about the way sexual abusers behave and think, I read some articles about the way they perceive the world around them and I have some doubts:
Can a sexual abuser know that they are a sexual abuser?, people say you cannot be a psychopath if you think and fear you are one and I wonder if this is the same for abusers since they show a narcissistic personality and sometimes psychotic behaviors.
Is harming the ultimate and main objective of sexual abusers or are there exceptions? Can a sexual abuser behave they way they do without intentions of harming or feeling superior?
How do you distinguish when you have and obsession (for example romantic obsesions with a person) or is just a normal way of thinking?
Could a person have all the traits of an abuser but not becoming one?
